FORBIDDEN! Very beautiful, deep lime canyon; clean, cold water (not to be underestimated with young people); dangerous at high water levels; large catchment area (several tributaries); good to combine with Rio Torto, Fratarica, Predelica).

Access: machine translated ➜

Directly, 1Km after the end of the village (place name sign) Log Pod Mangartom (coming from Predil Pass) there is a turnout with a parking place for hikers on the right side before the stone bridge. Park here.

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

From the parking lot, walk a short distance back along the road to the no-driving sign. Descend here directly into the stream. You will soon come to a weir (entry at approx. 590m).

Tour (40 min): machine translated ➜

After the small climbing step at the weir and a short walking passages, the canyon narrows and you immediately get into the swing of things... Beautiful washouts and the turquoise-blue water in the pools are a feast for the eyes. The small steps and drop-offs in the gorge can normally be jumped or downclimbed (several possible jumps). However, single bolts are available on some steps. As soon as you really get going, the tour exits again. At the point where the canyon opens up, you can see an iron ladder leading out of the stream on the orographic left side (sharp-edged at the top!).

Return (15 min): machine translated ➜

From the iron ladder, walk towards the power station buildings and through the middle. Then follow the visible hiking trail on the orographic left side of the gorge back to the parking lot.

It's a shame that there's a 6m abseil at the start - otherwise you wouldn't need a rope Superiore Canyon

Unfortunately the last flood moved the rocks and there is a 3-4 meter new waterfall at the entry to the canyon and there are no anchor points. Its good to have a piton or make a bolt. We had nothing and had to go back.

21.06.2023 Tjaz ⭐ ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ⚓ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔

Short but beautiful deep cut canyon. One jump and one slide, everything else swimming or walking. You have to be careful in high water or stormy weather Unfortunately illegal canyon, so you have to hide before the rangers.

Without ropes, short speed run done. 15 min from car to car.

Really beautiful but short, done in 20 minutes without using a rope, everything was jumping or climbing. The water is extremely cold, it's nice to have gloves and a neoprene cap.

Koritnica is a beautiful canyon in Slovenia. The canyon is cut to a depth and the rocks and water have enchanting colors. A canyoning tour here doesn't take long under professional conditions, beginners quickly get cold and may reach their limits in some places. Right at the beginning, directly at the first abseiling point, white water experience is helpful. Once you reach the bottom, you have to cross the white water to leave the pool. Not really a problem, but if in doubt, it helps if the first person has a throw bag with them. There is another very nice jump and shortly before the exit, it gets a little more technically challenging: a few meters of long shimmying using the cling and stem technique above the white water.
